I thought Sa'ar's joke was that the story of Valium's life was "used possessively."
Nate, you've reminded me of a somewhat different Latin phrase: "sum quod eris", found on tombstones. It means "I am what you will be."

I forget the Latin for it, but "never speak ill of the dead" is a good thing to say if someone is giving you a hard time about your ill-advised drinking the night before.
I bet it was even used by hungover Romans. Or maybe the slaves on barf cleanup duty. *shudder*

That one's "de mortuis nil nisi bonum [dicendum est]." I learned it from Naomi Chana, a favourite Angel commentator of mine, who paraphrased it as "you don't talk smack about dead people."
